Hello,

There was a thread here about month and a half ago, titled:
isolinux + windows installation CD
see: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-May/006902.html
It dealt with burning an individual installer to disc from
a multi-boot DVD - of the style you get with
an MSDN subscription.

The process suggested was:

1. copy the contents of the ISO to a temporary folder.
2. make the isolinux folder.
3. copy the isolinux-debug.bin file in.
4a. use the geteltorito (google finds it) perl script to strip the
boot image from the original ISO. Place that in the isolinux folder as
eltorito.bin.
4b. take the magical w2ksect.bin file, also found on google, and put
that in the isolinux folder.
5. create an isolinux.cfg file that looks something like:

The one who posted this thread had some problems; he got some
suggestions (which one of them was using IsoBuster (under wine).

I want to do the same and I wonder: did anyone had success with it
with geteltorito? (without IsoBuster under wine ; I don't want to use
wine)
If there is one like this I will be happy if he will detail the
process.

Regards,
Ian Brown.
